Xin Mao is lost!
This was the only thought Xiangmaozi could think of, and she felt weak at the time. She had heard countless stories since she was a child, and without exception, a certain child was kidnapped because he disobeyed, and no one has ever seen him again.
When she was a child, she still wondered how she could never see again after being abducted by a kidnapper.
It wasn't until Ziyuan was married to the mountain god and never came back that she realized clearly for the first time that she was never seen again and might be dead.
Xiangmaozi picked up the basket in a panic. She put the teapot and cloud cakes in the basket, and hurriedly gathered a few handfuls of sweet millet. Then he started looking for traces of Xin Mao everywhere.
She instinctively walked towards the entrance of the town.
If someone wanted to kidnap Xin Mao, there were only two possibilities. One is to hide him in a house in the town and wait for the opportunity to sell it; the other is to get it somewhere outside the town and sell it slowly.
Lemongrass is not afraid of the first one, because she believes she will have a way to find it. She was now afraid that Xin Mao would be abducted to a far away place that even she didn't know about, so there was nothing she could do.
So she wanted to go to the town gate to guard it as soon as possible, what if the kidnapper would pass by? ! She can stop it. The little Lemongrass never thought about what she could do with her short and skinny figure.
She hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the town, worried in her heart, fearing that she would be late.
Returning to the street where we first entered, the lively crowds on both sides have dissipated a lot, and many of the shops that were brightly lit just now have turned off their lights and closed their doors.
The night is getting darker, and the darkness is like a beast hiding in the depths, swallowing up the light and the courage of the lemongrass!
Xin Mao, where are you?
As soon as I got closer, I heard a familiar howling. The voice was harsh and unpleasant, filled with countless frustrations and useless sadness.
Lemongrass has heard this voice countless times and it is extremely familiar.
She ran over following the sound, and sure enough she saw Xin Mao sitting on the ground, crying with his eyes closed and his mouth wide open, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. There was no one around.
Seeing Xin Mao, Xiangmaozi was half relieved at first.
She walked over, squatted down, and wiped Xin Mao's face with her sleeve.
Xin Mao, who was howling with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Lemongrass, he sobbed and said, "Sister, sister, wuwu, wuwu, someone is hitting me!"
Xin Mao is a timid person who always likes to bully the weak and avoid the strong. For example, he always likes to complain and let his stepmother beat Xiangmaozi. But in the village, he was a coward. He was often bullied by the stronger children in the village. When bullied, he did not dare to fight back. He always came to Xiangmaozi in tears to stand up for him.
Unlike Xin Mao, Xiangmaozi has a stubborn and unpleasant personality, but she is very good at beatings. More than half of the children in the village have been beaten by her. Even if she couldn't beat him, she would bite him a few times.
Xiangmaozi's fierce fighting style makes many people afraid to tease her. As a result, 90% of the fights Xiangmaozi fought with were because of Xin Mao.
"Why do people hit you?" Xiangmaozi asked. This is also a habit. Xin Mao, a coward, always likes to accuse others. Xiangmaozi was not fooled by him, so he hurriedly went to stand up for him. After the beating, he found out that it was Xin Mao who snatched the bird's eggs first, and he beat him because he was angry. he. As a result, this guy concealed the reason and only said that he was beaten, which made Xiangmaozi very embarrassed.
However, Xiangmaozi is not easy to mess with. When she finds out that she made a mistake, she will often go back and beat Xin Mao again. Of course, this approach will lead to her own misfortune, because Xin Mao, a naughty boy, will go to the stepmother to complain, saying that Xiangmaozi beat him. The stepmother would often carry firewood and beat the lemongrass seeds without asking the reason.
Although Xiangmaozi would look for another opportunity to beat Xin Mao afterwards, he would still be beaten after all.
After being beaten many times, Xiangmaozi also has a memory. When Xin Mao complains, she needs to interrogate again and again.
Sure enough, Xin Mao started to falter, "Someone snatched my package and I refused to give it to him, so he punched me in the face, knocked out all my teeth, and took the package away," Xin Mao pointed out. He looked at half of his swollen face and held up a small baby tooth in his hand.
Xiangmaozi had lost her teeth herself, so she didn't care much about the loss of her baby teeth. She still remembered that Xin Mao told her two days ago that her teeth were itchy and a little loose.
Xiangmaozi stared at Xin Mao like an owl staring at a mouse, "Why are people grabbing your package? Your package is not conspicuous?"
Xin Mao's eyes began to drift, "Then, how do I know? He didn't tell me before he robbed me."
At this moment, Xin Mao was in front of him, and he had not lost anything. Xiang Maozi was in a good mood. All her IQs returned, and she began to question Xin Mao.
"Where did that person steal your stuff?"
This question is easy to answer. Xin Mao pointed angrily at a place about ten steps ahead, "It's right there! Hit him when you rush up. It hurts."
Xiangmaozi glanced at the place not far ahead, and continued to ask, "It's strange, this is so far away from where I asked you to wait. How could that person rob you here?!"
Xin Mao was obviously stunned for a moment, and he completely forgot about this.
So his eyes rolled around, "Well, you haven't been here for a long time, I, I'm out to look for you!"
Lemongrass folded his arms and tapped the ground with his toes, "The place where I went to find water was obviously in the opposite direction!" This was a very impatient standard action of Lemongrass.
Seeing this, Xin Mao panicked even more.
He excused himself, "I'm lost, I'm going the wrong way!"
Lemongrass doesn't believe this. She shouted: "What the hell is going on?! If you lie again, you will be beaten!"
Xin Mao was hungry, tired, and even beaten, and his parents were not there to support him. Feeling aggrieved and frightened, he burst into tears, "You are evil! When mother comes, I will let her beat you! Wow!" Woo, I want to eat the fried devil, not your bitter millet. I just want to eat the fried devil, woo woo, you are evil!"
At this point, Xiangmaozi already understood everything.
Xin Mao was most likely thinking about the fried little devils sold at the entrance. So while I was looking for water, I secretly ran to buy some food. As a result, there were many refugees fleeing from famine in the villages in the town. When I saw that a little kid like him had taken so many coppers, I grabbed it easily!
Xin Mao is really selfish and ignorant.
Xiangmaozi looked at him rolling on the ground crying, and the clothes on his body were so dirty that he couldn't even see it. She sighed and kicked the rolling Xin Mao with her toes, "Get up! I have something good for you to eat."
After hearing Xiangmaozi's words, Xin Mao stopped crying. Half of this crying was because he was afraid that Xiangmaozi would beat him.
Then he saw Lemongrass take out a cake he had never seen before from the basket.
It is wrapped in green leaves, and the inside is pinched into an approximate triangle shape, and the exposed part is as white and soft as a cloud, with an alluring sweet smell!
It looks delicious, even more delicious and delicious than the fried ones I saw just now!
"Sister, what is this?" Xin Mao drooled, and he wiped it with the back of his hand, making it even dirtier.
Xiangmaozi could only pull the cloth from the basket and barely wipe his hands and face, and then handed him the cloud cake, "It's called cloud cake, and it was given to him by a young master."
Xin Mao couldn't wait to take a bite, it was delicious!
My mouth was quickly filled with sweet pastry, and it felt soft and elastic, as if I had eaten all the clouds in the sky in one bite. How could there be such delicious food! Xin Maogan sighed.
"Then, that young master respects the monkey!" Xin Mao muttered with his mouth full of cloud cakes. What he said was that the young man was really nice.
Xiangmaozi understood and nodded, "Yes, the young master is so kind. He is like a legendary god."
Watching Xin Mao gobble it up, Xiangmaozi raised the teapot and fed Xin Mao a few mouthfuls, fearing that he would choke.
Xin Mao ate with big mouthfuls, while Xiangmaozi just stood aside and looked at him quietly. Occasionally, I would force-feed him some water when I had time.
The cloud cake given by the young master's companion is not that small, it is almost as big as an adult's handful. If it is placed on a delicate plate, it can also be placed on two plates.
But the young master had forgotten that the amount he said was a lot was based on the weight of the female nuns. Monks rarely have an appetite. Unless it is the most rare and rare spiritual food, they usually only eat a bite or a half and then put it down.
Xin Mao, on the other hand, is a growing and hungry country boy.
Not to mention ordering cloud cakes like this, even if the same amount comes again, he can still eat them all.
Soon, the number of cloud cakes was diminishing, and only the last piece was left.
After Xin Mao picked it up, he suddenly paused. He held the cloud cake to Xiang Maozi's mouth and said, "Sister, you haven't eaten it yet, have you?"
It's true that she didn't eat a bite of lemongrass, but she also didn't expect that Xin Mao would actually leave a bite for her. You know, Xin Mao, a selfish and stingy person, would rather spit in his own bowl than share the food.
Xiangmaozi nodded and took a bite of the cloud cake with Xin Mao's hand.
So delicious!
The cloud cake is so fragrant, sweet and soft, it melts in your mouth, and the aroma seems to flow from your mouth to your belly button. In this life, Lemongrass has never eaten anything so delicious.
A piece of cloud cake is only enough for two bites.
She finished her meal in three gulps, and then she asked Xin Mao, "Are you full?"
Xin Mao nodded. He was not actually full, but he was satisfied. Extremely satisfying.
Xiangmaozi thought there was nothing she could do if she wasn't full, so she turned on the teapot and drank all the remaining water. I drank a lot of water.
What to do next?
Xiang Maozi thought for a moment, then she led Xin Mao and said, "Follow me! Don't run around again this time."
Xin Mao nodded, and then he said quietly, "What should I do with the packages? They have all been snatched away."
Xiang Maozi sighed, "I told you not to run around. In this kind of world, let alone being robbed, even if you kill me, your life will be in vain!"
"This kind of world" was just a casual comment from Xiangmaozi. She never expected that she would inadvertently utter a prophecy.
